Hi,

I call the FTP command from within a script. The call to FTP looks like this :

ftp -n -i -v < $com >> "$logfile"

Where $com is a commandfile
and I want the output to be redirected to $logfile.

If I do this call at the prompt it works perfect. (replacing the variables by there name.

If I run the script the FTP is done (like it should be) but the output does not appear in the logfile. In fact no output is written.

Thanks for any advice!
Best Regards,

Kris

ftp -n -i -v < $com | /bin/tee -a $LOGFILE

Thanks for your help ssk.

But I already tried tee. This time I tried once more with the full command "/bin/tee" but I'm afraid it's not the solution.

My logfile still shows the same content.

Best Regards,

Kris

Kris,
Can you post the command file and also the exact syntax u r using on command line ?
Let me know what is logged at present or nothing is logged. As I checked this command on Sun & HP on both this is working fine.

ssk

stupid me...

After a good night sleep and a fresh brain I found out that somewhere in the script the directory is switched and as such the logging is working fine. Only that part is put in another logfile (same name other directory)... as the logfile contains only a name and not a full path.

Sorry I bothered you and thanks a lot for your help.
